Nickname

Just something quick and funny...

Jack randomly decided all on his own that Henry needed a nickname.  He decided on "Hen".  He is going out of his way to make sure he uses it...correcting himself if he forgets.  It's driving Henry nuts!  Every time Jack calls him "Hen", he says/yells, "no, Hen....RY" or "me Hen...RY".  A couple weeks ago we realized Henry had never really said his own name.  So, we started encouraging him constantly which he thought was hilarious and responded with "my name is Cat....meow".  He did this for several weeks, loving our reaction.  It has apparently backfired on us because now he ONLY refers to himself as Henry.  Hearing a two-year-old speak in the third person is quite funny, so we are correcting minimally.  It's especially cute because as with most of his speech, he spreads it out so it sounds like "Hen......ry".

Grandpa King thinks Hank is a better nickname than Hen.
